"He landed awkward. There's some swelling in the knee," Robert Warzycha said in a phone interview. "[The injury] put us behind the eight ball because we had to shift some players around. It really changed the game for us."

Forward Dominic Oduro replaced the Brazilian defender to start the reshuffling. Justin Meram moved from up top to the flank; Ethan Finlay switched to right back from the midfield and right back Eric Gehrig took over Glauber's spot.

"There was bit of adversity," goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum told MLSsoccer.com by phone. "We have to deal with what we've got."

The Crew, unlike the Fire who are off until June 19, have a game Saturday against Montreal (7:30 pm ET, watch on MLS Live) so Oduro, forward Federico Higuaín and midfielders Matías Sánchez and Danny O'Rourke did not start the rescheduled match.

Yet the Crew took the lead when Konrad Warzycha scored on a header off a Ben Speas free kick in the 22nd minute, to mark the first time a father-son duo had each scored in the Open Cup in the modern era.

"I got inside of my man and Ben delivered a good ball," Konrad Warzycha said. "I tried to make contact and put it on goal. Luckily it went in."

The elder Warzycha scored for Columbus in the 56th minute of a 3-2 semifinal loss to Rochester at Virginia Beach, Va., on Sept. 1, 1999.
